If your organization has thought about participating in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Awards program, this is your opportunity to complete the Bronze Award application from beginning to end with coaching support along the way.
This 2-day workshop is about more than an award; besides gaining a better understanding of what examiners are looking for and how to use the award criteria as an improvement tool, you will learn how to use the award process to focus, align, and accelerate your performance excellence efforts – becoming a high-performing organization.
The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program provides a pathway for providers of long term and post-acute care services to journey towards performance excellence. The program is based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The first step in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is the Bronze – Achievement in Quality Award.
The Bronze Award level provides applicants with the tools and resources they need for continuous improvement in quality care. Through the Bronze criteria, based on the Baldrige Excellence Framework, applicants will assess their organization’s mission, vision, and key factors that lead to success. At this award level, utilizing the criteria questions applicants develop an organizational profile for their center. Applying for the AHCA/NCAL Bronze National Quality Award gives your organization a strong foundation for the second step—the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award level.
This workshop will assist you in your journey to Bronze!
Learner Objectives:
- Understand the AHCA/NCAL Bronze Quality Award process.
- Gain an understanding of the value of participating in the Quality Award process.
- Go “behind the scenes” of the assessment process to understand what examiners are looking for and why this is important – beyond an award application.
- Understand the technical requirements and policies of the Bronze Quality Award process.
- Understand how quality improvement activities build a culture of continuous improvement and high-performance work teams.
- Write the draft of your organization’s Bronze Quality Award application.
